If the firmware has failed, this patch will automatically reload &
restart the card. The previous card state will be restored on a
successful restart. Firmware reload will only happen if neither the
encoder or decoder is active. If the card is busy then behaviour is as
before, returning -EIO on device access until the reload can occur. On
cards that support video output, coloured bars will be displayed during
the reload.
Andy Walls (ivtv maintainer and patch committer) made minor tweaks to
comments and the logged messages, but nothing substantial otherwise.

ivtv_api_get_data() was performing more PCI MMIO than needed, resulting
often in it accounting for more than half the total time spent in
ivtv_irq_handler(). Now it only reads at most 7 of the 16 mailbox data words
over the PCI bus, and in some instances only 2 or 3 data words as needed.

It took three core maintainers, over four years of work, eight new i2c
modules, eleven new V4L2 ioctls, three new DVB video ioctls, a Sliced
VBI API, a new MPEG encoder API, an enhanced DVB video MPEG decoding
API, major YUV/OSD contributions from Ian and John, web/wiki/svn/trac
support from Axel Thimm, (hardware) support from Hauppauge, support and
assistance from the v4l-dvb people and the many, many users of ivtv to
finally make it possible to merge this driver into the kernel.
Thank you all!
